I think Nintendo took a quality nosedive because the Wii was far more successful than it ought to have been, and that went to their heads. That "emerging market" of new gamers the Wii was supposed to have ushered in all quickly fell off the core gaming radar to play shit like Candy Crush on their ipads.

I don't know why it took you $1000 to realize early access / crowdfunding is a horrible way to develop a game. I spent like $15 on StarBound, saw that it was going nowhere good in a matter of weeks, and swore off the whole fucking thing.

Now I'm back to playing Terraria, a feature-rich title released YEARS ago that just pushed another bigass content patch.

It doesn't have to be "that bad" for this kind of a reaction now that Steam has a refund system. Too long businesses were shipping broken games, maybe people are finally tired of paying good money to beta test shit. Then again, with the proliferation of early access... maybe not.

The 8GB VRAM on Fury is not any good when the card itself doesn't have the horsepower to push 4K. The 4GB on Fury X is absolutely a limiting factor in pushing 4K in games that are out *right now*, so what the fuck good is this $650 piece of shit supposed to be a year down the line? Two years?

It really is, but it doesn't help the Destiny forum is one of the worst I've ever fucking seen. There is zero presence from anyone at Bungie and the "community" does almost nothing but flood the boards with brain-dead feedback... which is all completely ignored by Bungie anyways. The game has never and will never have any direction, and anyone dropping one cent on it is a total fucking rube.

Also, not being able to lose followers is a conscious choice by the developers to hold our sensitive little gamer hands, because who the fuck wants to think about encounters right? And who wants to load games right? What the fuck is next??

Well when you've got an AI as fucking retarded as that in Fallout 3, Boone wouldn't have made it three steps outside Novac without being immortal.

Really, REALLY want to see a change to Engagement. The absolute worst part of EU was spending time to cleverly and quietly move a squad forward only to have spotted enemies get free movement to cover before combat. Let me get fucking sneak attacks and/or stealth kills.

Skies of Arcadia made it to GCN (a 10x better console). I had a friend during high school whose basement featured a Dreamcast. Besides the odd round of Power Stone, it ended up being mostly used for Virtua Tennis. The friend himself was a prominent supporter of Jet Grind, a game I've never enjoyed. I'll give you points for PSO, but other than that... there's a reason Dreamcast killed Sega.
